Podcast Squared Interview

Hello all!

I've just been alerted to the fact that an interview I did with Podcast Squared a few weeks ago is now posted. We talk about the end of The History of Rome, podcasting theory and the proper legionary formation to deal with angry hippos. Interview starts at minute 25.

I also just subscribed to The Ancient World podcast. Thanks Mike! I have thoroughly enjoyed the History of Rome & will miss it terribly but I guess I will forgive your ending it for the time being with the baby coming and all. ;) I discovered the podcast via 12 Byzantine Rulers (another excellent offering) a few years ago & want to thank you & your fellow historical type podcasters for providing such wonderful offerings to us history nerds. Best of luck to you & Mrs. HOR with the bebe.

Darn, just started listening. I am way behind (ep 71) and was looking forward to catching up some day. I am sure I will enjoy the rest of the episodes just as much as those I have already listened to. Thank you for dedicating your time and passion to this project.

Mike, Grazie Mille! I have greatly enjoyed your podcast and will miss it. Please do let me know if you are in Rome and need any help or just want to drink a glass of wine together as my thank you for the many hours I have enjoyed listenning to THoR. Gennaro from the Ethernal City.

I do have to admire you for sticking to this as long as you did and I am finally 10 episodes away from the unfortunate end of your podcasts on THOR. I hope you have great plans in the future for you and your family.

I havn't had a problem with the interview but its worth having a re download. P.S. I liked the interview mike I been listing to podcast squared since you had the 1st interview so I can thnkyou dor that.

I recently loved:
Shakespeare's Restless World - www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/r4shakespeare
A good look at the details of live in the 1590's. Eyeopening.

Ancient Warfare Magazine - www.ancient-warfare.com
A look at Roman and Greek topics from a different angle. The hosts talk a lot about sources, which I love. You get an idea of how we know what we know.

people should try listening to the new podcast the history of byzantium, it aims at continue where mike left off even trying to continue using mike's podcast style, Mike if possible could you promote this podcast its website is http://thehistoryofbyzantium.wordpress.com/ check it out

What a ride. Learned so much. Sad to see it end but the good news is that your considering another one to boot. Well if you do or if you don't, thanks for a great time. Well planned, well initiated, and well thought out I will miss the misadventures of all our friendly neighborhood emperors and quasi-emperors. Your son looks great hope to hear from you in the future soon.

Hi Mike, So much time has past and I miss my THoR rituals. However I came to check-in today, in part for updates on the young Lordling, as well as listening to some favourite episodes. I'm guessing Sir Elliott is motoring along and trying to grab anything he can get and stuff it in his mouth. Have fun! I hope you are all keeping well and happy.

Thanks for keeping the site up. I still recommend it to anyone with ears who stands still near me:) I also appreciate the other podcast recommendations though I haven't started anything new yet. Taking a sensible breather.
